Breech Baby with anterior placenta

I am 35 weeks and I had an ultrasound yesterday and it showed that the baby is breech... He is very comfortable with his head in my ribs and his foot in his mouth 😂😁... I'm carrying him VERY high up in my ribs. I also have an anterior placenta and I'm concerned that he's not going to flip to head down position before it's time to have him. He is my first baby and I don't exactly know what to expect, but I am TERRIFIED to have a C-section.. so I'm hoping other momma's might have success stories. Any advice or personal experiences are welcome!

So funny! I have an anterior placenta and my son is Breech also 🤣🤣 I am 33 Weeks. Omg his ultrasound pic is so cute I love his little feet.
Do some research on natural ways to get your baby to flip, the c section procedure and keep an open mind! You will be doing yourself the greatest favor by welcoming the safest route of birth for your baby still time to flip so don’t stress out.

Do you swim? I do and the other day in the locker room another woman approached me and started talking about babies, pregnancies and swimming. She said she had her last kid at like 36 and that he was breech. She said she read somewhere that doing flips under water helps the baby turn easily. She said she did it and by the time she gave birth, the baby was head down. I don’t know if it really works but it’s definitely worth trying. Good luck

Here’s my chunky guy on Monday

Oh my goodness! He is too cute! Haha ultrasounds are so awesome.. just to sit in awe and stare at your baby lol! And I have told myself that regardless of how he is born, I do just want him here the safest way possible, so if it's necessary, a c section will just have to be okay. I'm just terrified of being numb lol.. it's just a weird anxiety. But thank you so much!

I don’t understand, what does the anterior placenta have to do with Breech babies? I had an AP (attachment parenting) last pregnancy and he was head down. I have AP (attachment parenting) this time too so I’m genuinely curious.

Baby number 2 stayed breech my entire pregnancy flipped the day before I went into labor. This is pregnancy number 5 and it's all guys doing the same damn thing but he's got plenty of fluid in there and he's perfectly capable of flipping and doing somersaults cuz we've seen it on ultrasound so it's just a matter of when he's good and ready to do it

AP (attachment parenting) both pregnancies. Has absolutely nothing to do with breech. Just FYI.

DD (dear daughter) was breech. She started labor a week before my scheduled version so emergency C it was. I know it really isn't the birth you plan. I cried my eyes out to DH (dear husband) the night before she was born that I was so upset at the idea of a c section. After discussing why it upset me so much (he loved the idea of a scheduled appointment), I realized it was giving up the spontaneity of "Oh shit, it's baby time!" that upset me the most. And then the next morning, "oh shit, it's baby time!" Hahaha. Life has a way of working out I guess.

Welcome to mamahood. Baby will either flip or not. As you are learning already, baby is their own person and will spend the rest of your/their life messing up your plans. In the best ways possible. My c section ended up being awesome. We are choosing a repeat. No matter what happens, you got this.

Your growing child

Your 3-month-old: Week 4

When placed on her stomach, your baby will probably lift her head and shoulders high, using her arms for support. This mini push-up helps strengthen her muscles and gives her a better view of what's going on.

Your 4-month-old: Week 2

By now, your baby may play with her hands and feet for a few minutes at a time. She's quite fond of doing one action over and over again until she's sure of the result. Then she'll switch things up a bit to see if the result is different.
